Covenant Church is a new church forming in St. Cloud. We currently gather in a home each Sunday evening for singing, prayer, fellowship, and the study of God’s Word, and once each month, on Sunday morning, for corporate worship. We would love for you to join us as we grow together in Christ and build a community of faith rooted in the gospel.
As the Lord continues to build this new church, we are preparing to begin weekly corporate worship in 2027. We look forward with great joy to gathering around the public ministry of the Word, the Lord’s Table, and the celebration of baptism in the life of our church.
Even now, we are inviting others to join us who desire to help establish a new church rooted in the historic truths of the gospel.
Join us for worship on the last Sunday of each month at 10:30 a.m. and every Sunday evening at 5:00 p.m. for our Covenant Connection small group.
Baptist—We believe that born-again Christians are welcomed into membership through baptism upon a credible profession of faith. Our local church is an autonomous entity, but we voluntarily cooperate with the Southern Baptist Convention for the purpose of international missions, church planting, and future pastors in their seminary education.
Reformed—We hold to a historically reformed, baptistic theology—among which we fully affirm the “Five Solas” of the Protestant Reformation: that we are saved by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, according to Scripture alone, for the glory of God alone.
Elder-Led—We believe the Bible teaches that every local church is to be led by a plurality of male elders (1 Timothy 5:17-18, Titus 1:5, 1 Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:6-9, 1 Timothy 5:19-20, Acts 20:16-38, 1 Peter 5:1-4, Hebrews 13:17). An elder is synonymous in the Bible with “pastor”, “bishop”, and “overseer.” The primary work of an elder is, “to equip the saints for the work of the ministry, for building up the body of Christ” (Ephesian 4:12). This is achieved primarily through a faithful expository teaching ministry of God’s Word.
Decon-Served—We believe the Bible teaches that every local church should be served by deacons. Deacons must meet the qualifications according to 1 Timothy 3:8-13 and who devote themselves to the unity of the church. The Bible is clear that deacons are not elders, nor are churches to be governed by a committee or board of deacons. Biblical deacons are those who do whatever is necessary to allow the elders to accomplish their God-given calling of shepherding and teaching the church according to Acts 6.
Following Christ should never be done alone; that is just as true for churches as it is for individuals. Covenant Church is a new Southern Baptist church that is grateful to have generous support from other faithful christian organizations.
